Q: What's heaven for you?
A:Me and my wife on Rte. 66 with a pot of coffee, a cheap guitar,pawnshop tape recorder in a Motel 6, and a car that runs good parkedright by the door.
Q: Do you have words to live by?
A: Jim Jarmusch once told me "Fast, Cheap, and Good... pick two. If it's fast and cheap it wont be good. If it's cheap and good it won't be fast. If it's fast and good it wont be cheap." Fast, cheap and good... pick (2) words to live by.
From an interview with Tom Waits. <3

Love both, basically. I've devoted 162729% more of my time to Tom Waits [and Anthony Bourdain, oh my god] but I have retarded [sorry] amounts of respect for Buckley and Thompson.
There were so many more wonderful responses to questions... Here are the rest, actually, because since I know now that you love him, you'll appreciate these more than the rest of my friends list will:
It's ridiculously long, by the way. Livejournal won't let me post it, so I'm going to just make a new goddamned post.

We have that second answer on our wall at the place I work... it's called the Pyramid of Expectation. :)
